Re: 1.4 Screenshots and After-Action Reports go here!

1st person views is one of the things we want to do, in fact there's a lot of different things we want to do. Now that we've got our own media team, we're looking at all kinds of different idea for videos.

I think the video could be better, myself, and I agree it was a bit slow. It was originally planned to be more of a summary, two to three minutes long, but Imperial recorded lots of cool footage and didn't have the heart to throw out more than he did wink . Either way, it was a fun experiment and I, as well as other media team members, definitely want to make another.

Re: 1.4 Screenshots and After-Action Reports go here!

We don't pick a map and decide to film it, posing for that game and hoping we get action from other players, we pick games we feel have alot of action and are lots of fun and go through the BR files recording. 

Filming in 1st person would be a great addition to the video, but at a great expense of our filmers.  It involves someone throwing up fraps constantly (or turning it off at "Quiet" points) during the enitre CG, eating up resources, decreasing their performance ingame.

Decreasing who's performance?!

Running fraps decreases the palyers performance.  I've get a pretty high end rig (for 2142 anyway), running any filming software slows me down... or is that just me? o.O

It killed my games.
I've heard that Benukenobi and Danfun had such highend systems that it made no discernible difference when fraps was on.

Re: 1.4 Screenshots and After-Action Reports go here!

O, I thought that Fraps was being used on a replay in battlerecorder and then edited after. Is first person available in BR? I forgot... Either way, it's great u guys are even putting these together at all.

First Person Isn't available in BR I'm afraid... However you CAN place the camera in Br in a way that makes it look like first person.... however this is really difficult and EXTREMELY hard on moving players.
